EU Launches E-commerce Inquiry

May.07.2015 — Global Competition Review

Brussels-based Antitrust partner, Salomé Cisnal de Ugarte, speaks to Global Competition Review about the EU's competition inquiry into the e-commerce sector, which involves the EU Competition Commission collecting information from a broad range of e-commerce companies. The data will be used to gather market information and to assess whether companies' own practices hinder online competition. "Therefore, companies need to be very careful when responding to the questionnaires and data requests," Cisnal de Ugarte said.
